I mean... one woman commented here that she was put off by her fiance’s Magic habit, and shitbags crawled out of the woodwork to tell her she’s an ignorant bitch who deserves to be abandoned and made fun of for shoe-shopping. So the attitude of the author might not be perfect, but a lot of the commenters here seem…

But what you’re calling “truth” is simply the meaning you’ve chosen to hang on another person’s words.

If she didn’t want to be seen as black, wouldn’t she identify as solely white? I mean... saying she’s biracial sort of opens the door for the whole world to get up in her business about her race, so this kind of comment is bizarre as hell.

No, they really really don’t think that calling someone Pocahontas is a racial slur.

Awesome, thanks! Now I know what I’ll be doing after finals.

I’ve never seen an episode, but I haven’t had cable for years... is it streaming anywhere?

Actually, judging from words she has written herself, she considers herself to be part of both communities, not “part this thing, part that thing”. http://www.elleuk.com/life-and-culture/news/a26855/more-than-an-other/

We’re just learning about the one drop rule in my Black cultural studies class this week. Weird timing, universe.

True, anyone dating a royal probably has it figured out pretty early that if it’s serious, their life isn’t really going to be their own anymore. Guess you’ve really got to love someone to be willing to take on all of the monarchy bullshit just so you can be with them.

Oh, man, Uno (and its cousin Skip-Bo)... we used to play that all the time at my mom’s house when I was a kid. Right up until the day my mom got into an actual fistfight with Uncle Chuck over a game she thought she should have won.

Wowwww, Prince Charles, you’re practically a cartoon character with that accent. Anyway, he tells the journalist “you’re very kind”, presumably in response to the congrats that were offered, and then he goes on to say that “we’re thrilled for both of them” before saying he’s very happy indeed.

She’s retiring, from what I’ve gleaned from gossip columns (Lainey Gossip is the best on this news, FYI, they’ve been obsessed with Harry and Meghan since they got together and especially after his press release excoriating the British press)... and that’s no surprise. Her schedule will be full with royal duties. Lots…

Huh, literally the only thing I heard about Malia Obama today is that she appears to be dating some British ponce with absolute doucheface. http://www.laineygossip.com/malia-obama-reportedly-dating-fellow-harvard-student-rory-farquharson/48518

oh, absolutely. roasted garlic is the best garlic.

Damn. I’m not real big on the texture of onions but you had me at “goat cheese”.

YUP. That describes the relationship my branch of the family has with my grandmother’s brother’s family — Grandma knows all kinds of incredible shit about her brother and his wife, including the fact that their wedding took place two years later than the date they told their kids they got married and the reasons for…

My family’s super dysfunctional — don’t know my dad or his people at all, my mom is a garbage fire, both my uncles are dead and only one of them had kids anyway (and those kids grew up into adults that wear sweatpants to Walmart to stock up on Monster energy drink and WWE branded clothing while posting things to…

Smashed potatoes are so damn good, especially if you can get a nice sear on them. But mashed potatoes done well can be pretty delicious — you know who has a legit tasty mashed potato recipe? 2 Chainz. https://genius.com/2-chainz-garlic-mashed-potatoes-annotated

I like it, but not every time. Someone else said to use chicken stock, which I will totally cosign — veggie stock also works, some brands have a lot of flavor. And then there’s a recipe that actually calls for cooking the potatoes in milk and cream with bay, thyme, and garlic, then you pull out the potatoes and mash…

Totally real, but there are multiple kinds. Corn pie from Trinidad and Barbados is fucking great, Bolivian corn pie is fucking great... Pennsylvania Dutch corn pie is sadness.
